Funded by EDB via the USP programmes, our Project Team has been supporting the learning and teaching of mathematics for NCS students in primary and secondary schools since 2015. With a view to further provision of school-based support service to mathematics teachers in catering for learner diversity, with particular concerns about conceptual understanding and cultural diversity, our new project for NCS students and their mathematics teachers in primary schools will be launched in the coming academic year.

Briefing Session on the whole series of school-based support services (2019/20) by EDB. Our project will be introduced in one of the parallel sessions.Details of the event are as follows:

Content:
# HKU team will explain further on the content and format of the collaboration for the remaining 8 months of the project (June 2018 – February 2019) – the refinement stage of the project. For example, HKU team will organise some learning circles based on some maths and EM related topics for teachers to choose according to their interests;
# Officers will introduce the details of the learning circles. Teachers who are interested in the same topic will be grouped into the same learning circle and meet up on the arranged dates;
# EM guest speaker(s) will share their learning & teaching experiences.

We strongly encourage at least one teacher from each school, who will participate in our project next year, to join the session.
